IST vs AEST: what's the time gap?

AEST is 8 hours ahead of IST. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 8 hours to get the other — so a call between Jerusalem and Sydney is always 8 hours apart.

What time is it in AEST right now?

Right now the time in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) is Tuesday, June 30, 2026 · 3:54:01 AM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live AEST clock.

What time is it in IST right now?

And in Israel Standard Time (IST), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 7:54:01 PM. Compare the two and the 8 hours gap is easy to see.

When is a good time to schedule a IST to AEST meeting?

For example, a 9:00 AM IST meeting takes place at 5:00 PM AEST. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.

How does daylight saving affect IST to AEST?

The labels IST and AEST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 8 hours gap usually holds steady right through the year.

Why can you trust this IST to AEST converter?

Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so IST to AEST stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Frequently asked questions

How many hours ahead of IST is AEST?

AEST is 8 hours ahead of IST — a fixed 8 hours difference, since both are fixed-offset labels.

What time is it in AEST when it's 12:00 PM IST?

When it's 12:00 PM (noon) IST, it's 8:00 PM AEST.

Do IST or AEST use daylight saving time?

Israel Standard Time (IST) observes daylight saving, alternating with IDT; Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) observes daylight saving, alternating with AEDT.

Why might the real-world IST–AEST difference change during the year?

The labels IST and AEST are fixed offsets, so this converter is always exact. But Israel Standard Time's region switches between standard and summer time, so for part of the year you may actually want IDT to AEST. Always check which label a region is currently using before you schedule.
